Chapter 164 In the Forest— Sudden Expression of True Feelings  

Time went by minute by minute.

Ximen Qianxue ran her own unique “Secret Fire Qi”, and clouds of purple flames jumped between her fine jade hands, roasting the alchemy stove of immortality pills. The flames were constantly changing with her fingerprints.

She looked nervous.

But the imaginary stove blast did not happen.

Finally, in the stove for smelting immortality pills, a wisp of refreshing fragrance spread gradually.

“Does it succeed?” Ximen Qianxue was pleasantly surprised and stopped her hand printing.

The purple flame disappeared, the stove for smelting immortality pills slowly fell into her fine-jaded hands like suet jade. The stove cover slowly opened automatically, in its bottom a mass of a-small-finger-sized pink powder was gently floating, sending out an attractive glow.

“This is... Level Seven catalytic powders?! Were two kinds of raw materials under Level Eight smelted into Level Seven catalytic powders?”

Ximen Qianxue was shocked and immediately realized that she might have made a big mistake.

She was mistaken about Ding Hao.

...

...

When Ximen Qianxue was still regretting for her mistake, another young girl appeared in front of Ding Hao directly and simply and spoke out her mind openly.

“Senior Brother Ding Hao, I like you.”

In the season when golden autumn leaves were withering and fluttering like yellow butterflies in the wind, Li Yiruo, the most beautiful female disciple out of nominal disciple of five academies in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, stopped Ding Hao, who passed through the mountain forest, and uttered the words in a clear and crisp voice.

The first ray of sunshine in the morning passed through the mountains and the beautiful forest and shined on the beautiful girl’s face, outlining the appearance of an absolute beauty.

Ding Hao stayed where he was, and his brain capacity was not enough for a while.

Lay bare her mind?

A girl is courting a boy?

Or is she kidding?

But is it too sudden?

This little pepper used to hate me very much, didn’t it? Did she claim that she would teach me a lesson? Why does she suddenly appear before me and say something that makes me, a little virgin feel jumpy?

Does hatred beget love?

Ding Hao felt that he was not a saint.

So his first reaction was excitement.

The expression by such a delicate and charming beautiful girl secretly loved by countless nominal disciples instantly satisfied his tiny vanity as a little virgin.

Then, he began to consider what kind of answer to give.

To tell the truth, in the face of expression by such an extremely beautiful young girl, it was false that Ding Hao was not moved. Based on human’s possessiveness of beautiful things and little appreciation of Li Yiruo during the last trial, Ding Hao seriously wanted to think about the possibility of being with this straightforward beautiful girl.

But in the next moment, in Ding Hao’s mind, another girl dressing in red armor with the same beauty showed up in his mind.

Then, another white figure with white eyebrows, hair and beard instantly occupied all of Ding Hao’s mind. It was Mu Tianyang, the rival “prodigy” in the life-and-death fight three years later.

And Li Yiruo had been watching Ding Hao’s expression.

She had a bad temper, she was straightforward, she had the princess syndrome, she was self-centered and she was unreasonable most of the time, but this did not mean that she was a fool. With proud martial arts talent and flawless appearance, the words of being-extremely-intelligent could also be arranged on her reasonably.

She was very nervous.

She felt that her heart never beat so fast.

However, when she keenly captured Ding Hao’s expression of instant silence, she immediately understood something.

“It doesn’t matter, Senior Brother Ding Hao, I know there have been some misunderstandings between us. Even if you don’t like me now, I believe that one day I will make you really like me.” Li Yiruo smiled brightly and could not see any dimness and disappointment in her facial expression.

She was still the same pepper, no matter what happened, she was full of confidence.

Finishing what she said, Li Yiruo proudly turned around, swinging waterfall hair, humming a cheerful ditty and like a carefree fawn, she left and she even didn’t give Ding Hao time to speak.

Ding Hao opened his mouth and finally said nothing.

He had only three years to go, which was doomed to be full of sweat, blood and even danger in the following three years. In the face of Mu Tianyang, a peerless genius who had put pressure on all human and Demon Tribe young talents to be speechless in the entire Snow Province. He had no time to fall in love, and he had only one lonely cultivation way to go forward on a lonely road of cultivation.

Besides...

He was only 14 years old.

Whispers of love had to be experienced in the flower season and rainy season.

Ding Hao found countless excuses for himself in his heart, and then he watched the beautiful image of Li Yiruo disappear in the distance from the wind-blown withered leaves and a golden tree wave. This scene was engraved in his memory.

Suddenly—

“Who?” Ding Hao perceived something, and suddenly he turned to look toward the side rear.

Two figures walked out from behind a giant tree, with a shy smile on their faces. It was Li Canyang and Xiao Chengxuan. Both of them had been hiding behind the tree and eavesdropping.

“Hi, Brother Ding, it’s really like that man may meet but mountains never. Unexpectedly we meet here,” Xiao Chengxuan said, leaving a shallow scar on his face because he was injured in the last trial. Fortunately, for a man like him, this scar made him happier.

He grinned and waved, “It’s a nice day and it’s sunny.”

Ding Hao almost blew it out.

Li Canyang’s face was still tinged with embarrassment.

He was now the head of the Western Academy of red shirts, and he had been dragged by Xiao Chengxuan, a bad friend, to eavesdrop on his cousin’s expression of love for others. If such a thing was spread, he would hardly want to be mixed up in the Western Academy of red shirts.

“Well, I’m worried about Yiruo, that’s why...” Li Canyang could only say so.

What else could Ding Hao say?

Ding Hao changing the subject, and said a few words with two men. Ding Hao was surprised to notice that Li Canyang’s strength had reached the middle area in the Four-Apertured Martial Disciple Realm. There was only one step away from the peak of the Completion. Xiao Chengxuan was the same. He remembered that two people’s talents were very good at the entry test. It seemed that this month, both of them did not waste their time and their strength had been greatly improved.

It seemed that it was not only Ding Hao himself who had been making rapid progress in strength. All friends had been seizing every minute and second to improve themselves.

...

“In the next five academies competition, both of you will surprise the people with your first success.” Ding Hao sincerely sighed.

“Hahaha, yes, yes, I’ve been tensing myself this month. I must do something in the second five academies competition. I can’t let Brother Ding monopolizing praise before others.” Xiao Chengxuan was not humble and said triumphantly.
